Hope you are ok Dominique Take care

The city centre's pretty run down these days. There's an old shopping centre (Bargate?) that's been closed longer than I've lived here (10 years), but now getting pulled down and building work going on. Not sure what they're building - probably flats - but they've been at it a while now.
Above Bar is covered in a pop-up Christmas market, but not much interesting really. I've done most of my Christmas shopping online.

You're not attracting much else, besides the odd unicorn.
Are you going to set for winter wildlife?

Do I get jealous? Well, I guess everyone does sometimes. Perhaps it's better not to worry over the things you can't/don't have, but are you never jealous of those who get their unicorns spotted?

The completed bouquets attract the gold wildlife. And that makes the mice a bit more tolerable.

Hi Dominique
I am well  . Yes started Christmas shopping hopefully nearly finished i have done a lot on line , the grandchildren want Myla wants a barbie dream house , Teddy wants playstation games everything expensive lol . Teddy has a birthday on 21st December  aswell so more expensed. Fairyland is messing around tonight aswell keeps jumping out so hopefully you will get this message. sorry to hear about your eyesight .Not sure about underwater plants and gardens. Never been a cruise have you ? No issues going to Turkey we wore bikinis and shorts and normal clothes my son went to Egypt this year and no problem with his wife . Would love to move yes we own our own home mortgage free but we need to be near London for my hubbys work, would love to move down the coast , would miss the grandkid too. Police dont do alot in Croydon too scared to be called racist if they stopped and search . Hope you get this as my laptop keeps jumping about . Take care speak soon xx

Hi Tracey! How are things going? Have you started Christmas shopping yet? What do your grandchildren want for Christmas? Expensive electronic stuff, I bet! This is my third attempt sending you a message. Something must be wrong with this bloody phone, and it’s supposed to be a smart phone! 🤦‍♀️ Now I wish I still had my laptop. My eyesight keeps decreasing steadily. I won’t be able to type anything pretty soon if this carries on. Seems easier to just sprinkle and go at this point.

🧚‍♀️ 🪣 💦

Something weird happened in someone’s garden the other day. I sprinkled one of her plants and her garden was immediately transported to the bottom of the garden pond, but a few seconds later it was back on dry land. Isn’t that strange? I think the garden owner removed an underwater toadstool or something. Is that all it takes to prevent your garden from going underwater?

Have you ever been on a cruise 🚢? If so, where to? Your trip to Egypt will be interesting, I’m sure. Make sure you and your female relatives cover up and not walk around in shorts and tank tops as not to offend the locals! Lots of Muslim folks in these countries! Didn’t you go to Turkey with your (…)

PART TWO

… relatives last year? What did you guys wear over there? Any issues whatsoever?

🇪🇬 💞 🇹🇷

You mentioned Croydon is getting rough in the recent years. Is the police doing anything to rectify that problem or situation? Are you thinking of leaving South London if at all possible? Do you own your house? Did you grow up in South London? You guys should move to where I used to live just outside Southampton in a shall village called Hedge End. It’s very quiet there and there’s virtually zero crime. At least it was the case twenty years ago when I used to live over there with my first husband. It’s hard to believe I’ve been living in 🇺🇸 for twenty years already. Time flies faster than the speed of sound… or 🪰 all over a pile of 💩 lol

Hi Dominique.
Sorry to hear about your eyesight, it does seem very worrying .
My grandchildren go to school 10 minute walk from when i live so i always meet them when i take the dog for a walk, they come to me in the school holidays as their parents work . I go to watch them do swimming lessons on Monday and my grandaughter does gymnastics on a Tuesday that we take her too.
No not going to Florida next year now was working out too expensive we are going to Egypt in May with my son and his family, my mum and my brother and his wife .
